1. Action Requested: This memorandum contains notifica-
tion of t e implementation plan for Agency compliance with the
Depository Library Program and procedures to be followed.
2. Background:
a. The Director of Central Intelligence (DCI)
has directed compliance by the Agency with provisions
of the Depository Library Program as contained in
Title 44 of the 'U. S. Code. Compliance was recommended
in references (a) and (c). Under this program,
government agencies are required to make available
to the libraries which the Congress has designated
as Depository Libraries, free of charge, copies of

SUBJECT: Agency Compliance with Title 44 of the
U.S. Code - Depository Library Program
the publications which the government routinely
makes available to the public. According to
.Section 1902, Chapter 19 of Title 44, "Government
publications, except those determined by their
issuing components to be required for official
use only or for strictly administrative or opera-
tional purposes which have no public interest or
educational value and publications classified
for reasons of national security, shall be made
available to depository libraries through the
facilities of the Superintendent of Documents
for public information."
b. In order to ensure compliance as directed,
all publishing components should be requested to
notify Printing and Photography Division, Office
of Logistics (OL/PFPD), (or other Agency printing
facilities) at the time the request for printing
is submitted that the designated publication is
to be included in the Depository Library Program.
OL/P&PD has made arrangements with the Government
Printing Office (GPO), executive agency for the
program, to exercise one of two options available
to the Agency. In one case, where the content and
subsequent interpretation will not be seriously
impaired in a black and white film rendition, two
hard copies will be provided to GPO to be reduced
to microfiche and distributed as duplicate micro-
forms to the libraries. In the second case, where
color and graphics are essential to interpretation
and understanding (as is the case with atlases and
other multi-color products), up to 1,200 hard copies
will be provided to the GPO for distribution to the
libraries.
c. The DCI-has further approved continued
Agency. participation, as in the past, with two
other public distribution programs, viz, the Docu-
ments Expediting (DOCEX) Project of the Library of
Congress and the National Technical Information
Service (NTIS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce.

d. OL/PFPD has been designated as the focal
point for implementation of the Depository Library
Program as part of its overall responsibility for
liaison with the GPO. Printinc- facilities, other
than OL/P&PD, which may produce publications that
should be included in the program will provide
copies, according to the :guidelines in subraragraph
(b) above P to OL/P ;PD for on'vard dissemination to
GPO. OL/PF,PD has also been requested to monitor
this program to ensure that all publications which
should be included are made available to the public.
OL/PCiPD will not unilaterally decide which publi-
cation should he included, but rather will call to
the attention of publishers those publications that
in their judgment should be included but have not
been so indicated on the printing request. In the
final analysis, however, it is the publisher who
must designate a publication for the program, and
who must accept responsibility for its content.
